Frequently Asked Questions About Environmental Cleaning
How often should stormwater structures be cleaned?
Cleaning frequency depends on several factors including debris load, surrounding vegetation, and rainfall patterns. Most commercial and industrial stormwater structures should be inspected quarterly and cleaned at least annually. Some high-load areas may require cleaning 2-4 times per year, while others with minimal debris accumulation might need service only every 18-24 months.
Is environmental cleaning disruptive to normal operations?
We make every effort to minimize disruption to your operations. Many services can be scheduled during off-hours or weekends. For services that must occur during operational periods, we work efficiently with proper containment to limit impact on surrounding areas. During the planning phase, we discuss scheduling options to find the least disruptive approach.
How do you handle waste generated during cleaning?
All waste materials are properly contained, characterized, and disposed of according to applicable regulations. Depending on the material type, we may implement separation techniques to reduce disposal costs and enable recycling of certain components. For hazardous materials, we ensure compliant transportation and disposal with appropriate documentation.
Can you clean systems without taking them completely offline?
In many cases, yes. Our equipment and techniques often allow for cleaning of portions of systems while maintaining partial operation. For stormwater systems, we can frequently implement bypassing to maintain function during cleaning. Each situation is assessed individually to determine the optimal approach that maintains necessary functions while allowing effective cleaning.
Do you provide emergency environmental cleaning services?
Yes, we offer emergency response for situations requiring immediate attention, such as spills, flooding that affects environmental systems, or sudden system failures. Our team maintains emergency response capability throughout our service area with rapid mobilization when needed.
